Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of south-central Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-A
The earthquake of March 27, 1964, greatly affected the hydrology of Alaska and many other parts of the world. Its far-reaching effects were recorded as water-level fluctuations in gages operated on water wells and streams. The close-in effects were even more striking, however; sediment-laden ground water erupted at the surface,...
Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of the Anchorage area, Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-B
The Anchorage hydrologic system was greatly affected by the seismic shock. Immediate but temporary effects included increased stream discharge, seiche action on lakes, and fluctuations in ground-water levels. Generally, ground-water levels were residually lowered after the initial period of fluctuation. This lowering is attributed either to changes in the discharge...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, in the Homer area, Alaska
Roger M. Waller, Kirk W. Stanley
1966, Professional Paper 542-D
The March 27, 1964, earthquake shook the Homer area for about 3 minutes. Land effects consisted of a 2- to 6-foot subsidence of the mainland and Homer Spit, one earthflow at the mouth of a canyon, several landslides on the Homer escarpment and along the sea bluffs, and minor fissuring...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, at Valdez, Alaska
Henry Welty Coulter, Ralph R. Migliaccio
1966, Professional Paper 542-C
Valdez is situated on the seaward edge of a large outwash delta composed of a thick section of saturated silty sand and gravel. The earthquake of March 27, 1964, triggered a massive submarine slide, involving approximately 98 million cubic yards of material that destroyed the harbor facilities and nearshore installations....

Gravity survey and regional geology of the Prince William Sound epicentral region, Alaska
J. E. Case, D.F. Barnes, George Plafker, S. L. Robbins
1966, Professional Paper 543-C
Sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Mesozoic and early Tertiary age form a roughly arcuate pattern in and around Prince William Sound, the epicentral region of the Alaska earthquake of 1964. These rocks include the Valdez Group, a predominantly slate and graywacke sequence of Jurassic and Cretaceous age, and the Orca...

Slide-induced waves, seiching and ground fracturing caused by the earthquake of March 27, 1964 at Kenai Lake, Alaska
David S. McCulloch
1966, Professional Paper 543-A
The March 27, 1964, earthquake dislodged slides from nine deltas in Kenai Lake, south-central Alaska. Sliding removed protruding parts of deltas-often the youngest parts-and steepened delta fronts, increasing the chances of further sliding. Fathograms show that debris from large slides spread widely over the lake floor, some reaching the toe...

One of the greatest geotectonic events of our time occurred in southern Alaska late in the afternoon of March 27, 1964. Beneath a leaden sky, the chill of evening was just settling over the Alaskan countryside. Light snow was falling on some communities. It was Good Friday, schools were closed,...
